      Hope you’re lucky. Buying from e-bay is a bit of a lottery. How cheap was cheap? I was lucky. Bought a set for 50 quid. The white was too light and 3 of the reds were chipped. I replaced these balls so ended up with a 3g set for under 100 quid. My team use them for league matches. Far better than using the club balls which are horrendous.

              Balls for sure. Most of this cheap stuff comes from China or Far East. Just a sign of the times I’m afraid. UK manufacturers just can’t compete.

                  Also just wanted to say aswell that not everyone has £300 to buy a set of proper snooker balls so hence why these china conpanies are selling so many

                    Yes I understand. The cost of the Aramith Tournament Champion balls is scandalous. The Chinese haven’t quite mastered the art of cue making but when they do then JP better watch out. The Thai cue makers are already starting to compete.
                    If you don’t mind please give us a review of the balls. I’d be interested in how they compare weight wise to the Aramith balls. Kitchen scales would be accurate enough. The TC balls weigh around 142g. Regards.

                      Will do for sure they should he arriving on friday and i do have a session booked for 4/4 hours so will definitley leave some detailed feedback !
                      On the cue note i think over a £100 on a cue you are just paying for the name and reputation, i myself own a cannon diamond cue and it plays amazing and especially when my cue action is kicking i love it, i do also have a g3 century tip on the way so its going to be a combination of both new tip and new balls

                        Update:
                        snooker balls have arrived upon inspection they look really good no chips cracks marks none of that just abit of chalk on the odd ball here and there but that was because of the two chalks packed with it also they seem quite big i dont know if thats because of they are not on the snooker table but they do look bigger than the clubs, tomorrow i have a session and will keep you up to date how they played very excited !!

                              Belgium, the listing only shows postage to UK in the dropdown.
                              Didn't see other listing that sends abroad yet.

                              So how are these playing?
